First Stop- Sitka!!

Hey all!! Today (Friday) we are in Sitka, AK. It's been our first chance to leave the ship in several days and boy am I glad. When we passed through College Fjord yesterday we saw all the glaciers named after Ivy League Universities. The weather was definitely Alaskan- rainy and cold- but we were in awe of how colossal and majestic it all is. When we sailed for Sitka through the Gulf of Alaska we had to put on the seasickness patches- was I ever wrong to think it wouldn't be that rough! Today we went whale watching and saw gray whales along with sea otters and lots of birds. Got great pictures and will update the link to shutterfly tomorrow in Juneau. Having a great time and learning a LOT!!!
